Description gent_bz 2004-05-10 23:08:13 UTC

wv uses latex for much of it's processing, so there should be virtual/tetex in RDEPEND.  (I think...)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
[no tetex installed]
emerge wv
wvPDF  (and others)
Actual Results:  
Could not find required program 'latex'


Expected Results:  
No error.

the maint point of wv is it's shared lib, it doesn't need latex there. The satisfy the deps of all the extra scripts seems a bit too much for something that is not used by most users.

Comment 2 gent_bz 2004-05-11 04:02:34 UTC

Is a USE flag out of the question?  Or split wv into wv-libs and wv-tools (or something)?

splitting it up seems overengineering for this pack.

A USE flag could be done i guess, if there was one that fitted it. I don't consider this big enough an issue to introduce one.
